O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. Psalm 47:1
Most of us are familiar with this verse--have been since childhood. But there's something interesting about this verse that we don't notice when we pull it out of the chapter: the importance of the word "triumph." I know, I know...so what? There are bunches of verses that talk about triumph and victory. But keep reading. Verse 3 says, "He shall subdue...." Verse 4: "He shall choose...." The psalmist is not telling us to triumph in what has been done for us...but in what will be done for us. How much better would our life be if we started every day anticipating God's blessings!
